Anne Cherubim
is an abstract contemporary landscape painter. She works
predominantly in acrylic. Her art is rooted in real life images and
textures, with a modern abstraction, often in a limited colour
palette.

Her art is a reflection of
contemporary art as portrayed by someone who is a product of
a myriad of cultures: a Canadian girl, born of Sri Lankan
parents, now residing in the US.

This unique 'lense' through which
she sees the world informs her work, undeniably. ‘Tolerance’ is
the word we use to talk about being open to, and
welcoming of, one another.

Anne believes ‘embrace’ is a much
better word for talking about cultures, and the ways
in which we can coexist.Art and music transcend language - among other
barriers- and create commonalities, harmony. They are universals
that can be appreciated no matter where you come from, or what
language you speak.

This is the type of experience Cherubim
hopes that her art allows for.

Though
she has been an artist for many years, her professional pursuit
of it began more recently.
